The Vancouver Canucks appear ready to sell. According to reports from both The Fourth Period and The Athletic, general manager Ryan Johnson is open to trading several veterans, including Jake DeBrusk, Drew O’Connor, Filip Chytil, and Luke Schenn.
The Vancouver Canucks are one of the NHL's most-talked-about teams in the rumor mill. It is understandable, as the Canucks are in the middle of a rebuild and have multiple trade candidates to watch.
No one said rebuilding was easy. As the losses have begun to pile up for the Vancouver Canucks early in the season, players, the head coach, and fans alike have begun to show more frustration with the on-ice results from both an individual and team perspective.
It’s been nearly two weeks since the Vancouver Canucks acquired Jacob Quillan and Brandon Buhr from the Toronto Maple Leafs in exchange for Aatu Räty. Both of the new Canucks have made their debut in the Canucks organization, with Quillan playing in AHL Abbotsford and Buhr suiting up in ECHL Kalamazoo.
People love a good mid-round draft pick that pans out, and in the NHL you used to see those fairly often, but that’s obviously partially luck. If the Red Wings thought Nicklas Lidstrom was going to become a top-five defenseman in history, they wouldn’t have waited until the 53rd pick to take him.
That was one way to snap a 10-game losing streak. The Vancouver Canucks finally found a way back into the win column Tuesday night, but the underlying numbers from their 6-5 overtime victory over the Anaheim Ducks finally offer something more encouraging than an empty-calorie win.
I enjoy a particular kind of prospect story. It’s not about the first-round pick everyone expects to become a star. It’s about the player who gets overlooked, figures out what’s holding him back, and works on it.
The Vancouver Canucks finally have something to smile about. After 10 straight losses, they rallied from a three-goal deficit in the third period Tuesday night to beat the Anaheim Ducks 6-5 in overtime.
Jonathan Lekkerimaki scored twice in the final three minutes of regulation, and Filip Hronek scored on a two-man advantage in overtime as the visiting Vancouver Canucks snapped a 10-game losing streak with a 6-5 victory over the Anaheim Ducks on Tuesday.
Leevi Meriläinen was busy early and often to start this game, flashing the leather multiple times to rob Ducks shooters. Meanwhile, the players in front of him attempted some shots, but it took nearly eight minutes for the Canucks to be credited with their first official shot on goal, a Linus Karlsson wrister that Lukas Dostal shouldered away.
It was a slow start to his NCAA career for Vancouver Canucks prospect and 2026 third overall pick Caleb Malhotra at Boston University. But after this weekend, the point production has started to follow.
People will talk about the “Mount Rushmore” for a franchise, which is to say the four people, usually four players, that most define the franchise. Not always the four-best players, but the four that evoke the essence of the franchise.
When Marco Rossi returned to the Vancouver Canucks lineup after last season’s Olympic break, he looked like a player finally finding consistent footing in the NHL.
The Vancouver Canucks have lost 10 straight games, and the temptation is to treat Tuesday's visit to Anaheim as a must-win. Fans understandably want to see the skid end.
The Vancouver Canucks (2-10-1) kick off a brief two-game California road trip when they face the Anaheim Ducks (5-6) at Honda Center. Opening faceoff is set for 7pm PT.
The 2026-27 Vancouver Canucks season is progressing more or less as planned so far. But, like with The Robert Cray Band, this forecast called for pain.
The Vancouver Canucks are struggling immensely as of late. After starting the season with two wins in their first three games, the Canucks have now lost each of their last 10 games.
It’s been just over a month since Leevi Meriläinen was claimed off waivers by the Vancouver Canucks. Ask anyone, and they’ll tell you he’s settling in very nicely.
The Vancouver Canucks have not had a good start to the season. After some early optimism following a couple of crazy matches against the Edmonton Oilers, the team has hit a major skid, becoming the first team to have a double-digit losing streak in the 2026-27 season.
The Vancouver Canucks have enough problems without handing their opponents extra opportunities to score. Yet here we are. Vancouver entered the 2026-27 NHL season hoping new head coach Manny Malhotra would bring structure, accountability and a fresh identity.
Despite the Canucks losing streak now extended to 10 games, this week was the roughest one yet. The team went 40 minutes without a shot on net (yes, four-zero) against the Detroit Red Wings and, predictably, suffered against the reigning Cup champs, the Carolina Hurricanes, falling 6-3.
The Vancouver Canucks are running short on good news. Ten straight losses will do that to a team, and there isn't much point pretending otherwise. But sometimes, even in a rough season, a small development is worth watching.
The Vancouver Canucks have plenty of things to worry about after losing 10 straight games, but one problem keeps showing up at the worst possible time.
The Vancouver Canucks placed defenseman Jack Thompson on NHL waivers on October 25, marking the fourth consecutive day a blueliner appeared on the wire.
For the fourth day in a row, a defenseman has landed on the waiver wire. This time it is Vancouver Canucks defender Jack Thompson. Thompson hasn’t played yet this season after being struck in the face by a puck during Vancouver’s pre-season.
The Vancouver Canucks have hit an expected rough patch, hitting a nine-game skid filled with some ugly losses. Of course, this is what you often see from a team in the midst of a rebuild, and you also see that particularly brutal stretches can be the result of players underperforming.
